@enderland eh?

I love the history of "werewolf"

See, "man" didn't always mean "man". It used to just mean "human". So you have "man" (or "human"), "woman" for the female of the species, and "wereman" for the male of the species. Then it was a natural progression to call a sort of bloke/wolf combo a "werewolf", a term which stuck long after the SJW got their claws on "man" and made everyone think it was synonymous with "wereman" such that nobody's actually allowed to use it any more.

I'm sure there are weremen in some anime.

@MichaelT I'm sure that's just disturbing. Sure of it.

Ranma ½

Ranma ½ (Japanese: らんま½, Hepburn: Ranma Nibun-no-Ichi, pronounced Ranma One-Half) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Rumiko Takahashi. It was serialized in Weekly Shōnen Sunday from September 1987 to March 1996, with the chapters collected into 38 tankōbon volumes by Shogakukan. The story revolves around a teenage boy named Ranma Saotome who has trained in martial arts since early childhood. As a result of an accident during a training journey, he is cursed to become a girl when splashed with cold water, while hot water changes him back into a boy. Throughout the series Ranma...

@RobertHarvey it frankly doesn't make sense what you're saying. Either the dependency was given as a parameter, or set as a property; there are literally not other ways to pass dependencies around

durron597

@Ampt I'm probably the guy to ask about it too, gson is my #5 tag on SO.

psr

@JimmyHoffa You could do crazy stuff like rebuild the code to use a test double instead of a real dependency - this doesn't require any changes to the code for the real class, it can think it's calling a hard-coded dependency directly.

Jimmy Hoffa

@psr what does "hard-coded dependency" even mean? is it a property? Did something set it? Did it get set by a parameter? I don't even know what's going on anymore. Maybe the guys calling ServiceLocator "injection"

maybe he's invented an alternate reality where nothing makes sense and my world is an ocean of pudding full of spaghetti fish

@GlenH7 that one is really tricky. To me, board still feels like a better fit than boards here (but that's totally subjective)
